The Veteran soldier vote of the
United States is about 700, ,000in num-
ber. There are $4,000 members of
the Grand Army, and not over half
of the Union veterans have Joined
that organization, but they all SYM
pathize with its movements. With
Mr.. Cleveland as the Democratic caD-
didate for President, here could be a
political element about as solid as the
solid South. And the Democratic
newspaper and partisans are engaged
in a constant effort to aggravate and
enrage this body of voters. which is
one of the chronic blunders of Bour-
bonism in politics.

UORK FOR THE HISTORIAN.

In different parts Of tho United States the
work of nation making is continually going on,
and there are probably no phases Of social de
vclopment which cannot be Illus rated from the
life in some corner Of the great continent.
But it is remarkable that while much attention
has lately been given to one or two peculiar lines
of evolution las witness the valuable monographs
Published by Johns Hopkins University no
students have hitherto undertaken TO analyze.
collect and put on record any Of the strange
evolutionary phenomena occurring in The South
and West The rise Of many Western com
munitics during the past thirty years has been
attended with events so singular that when re
produced in fiction the facts arc rejected as cx-
trayagant The history Of vigilance commit
tres and regulators. for example, offers prac-
tically virgin soil to the student and nothing
could be more interesting and instructive than

owners and taxpayers were at the mercy Of

inevitable reaction set in A vigilance COM

lawlcss class. The vgilantes grew in power
until after long struggle they conquered tho
lawbreakers and killed or drove them from the
country For short time the orderly citizens
brcathed in peace, but the Bald Knobbcrs had
come TO realize their own strength and the OK
ercise Of it had become habit. The practice
of despotic power though ostensibly and for the
most part really in defence of order, had brought
these people to believe that they had right TO
dictate TO their ncghbors The result of this
fallacy was disastrous The Bald Knobbcrs
from being protectors became prosecutors.
They undertook to interfere with everybody.
They took it upon themselves to see that men
worked, that they went TO church. that they
paid their debts, that they sent their children
TO school, that they did not exceed at the tavern.

And so by degrees the vigilance committee

as the lawlessness it was created to put down.
At length the people Of the counties affected

The courts were resorted to, and finally some
two hundred Bald Knobbers wero indicted ar
rested and held for trial and among the pfis'
oners were found ministers of the Gospel, judges
and responsible business mcn-all OF whom
originally joined the organization from public
spritcd motives, but had gradually become
dcmoralizcd by the possession of too much
mower. unchecked by responsibility. The other

man who boldly claimed to be Chief OF the
Raid Knobbcrs,T and it proclaimed that unless
the Legislature adjourned by the oath inst

dispersc it, There was time when this threat
would have been regarded as serious but 1t Is
believed now that the power OF the organlza-
ton is virtually gone. and no interference with
the law is anticipated, 1t is evident from
these outlines that there is tempting oppor-
tunity for historical research and analysis III

Ex.A1DERM4y MILLER on THE STAND.

The confession of another Of the doodle
Aldermon that he received money for his vo'c
in favor OF Jacob Sharp's Broadway road Is
highly important because it is voluntary. This
makes the fourth member Of that Board who
has testified to the use of money In the public
mind there has never been any doubt that the
Aldermen were bribed. But in previous TRIALS
the defence has been foolishly conducted on
the plea that there was no bribery. 1t Is to the
credit Of Sharp's lawyers that they have aban-
doned that ground and admit that there was
corruption They deny. of course, that Sharp
was A PARTY to it, But as the head and front
of the entire scheme and the chief beneficiary
from the bribery, there can be no doubt Of his
knowledge of it.
The testimony yesterday was more important
than any before brought out In the effort to
show Sharps connection with the bribery. lie
was in frequent consultation with Moloney at
Mr.. Brights office. He sent a messenger to Mo-
loney with the resolutions TO be passed at the
special meeting of the Board called after the
dissolution of the striking Lyddy injunction.
All the papers. resolutions. etc, wcrc hurncdly
drawn up by Sharp's lawyers, and a messenger
was sent from their office 10 Long Branch to
Board. Sharp was on hand as director general
in the whole affair in close communion with
Moloncy: but when it came TO the use of money.
his lawyers would have the public believe that
he was innocent
The witness Bright, who was Sharps counsel
before the Board Of Aldermen, cuts a sorry
figure in this matter. His tears in the vines
box will not help him, particularly in view Of
what Judge Bartlett says rs TO the imposition
practiscd OF him in getting the Injunction
dissolved As to cX-Aldcrman Miler's tcSti-
mony. he probably told rs much as he thought
would help him on his own trial and no more
II is safe enough for him to say that he returned
the money to De Lacy, as that /" Doodlcr7 is in
no danger Of coming back from Canada to deny
it. II is equally safe for Sharp's lawyers to
try and make out that Foshay the fgurchcad
who is in his grave, was the man who corrupted
the Aldermen. But it remains to be seen
what an intelligent jury will think Of that
notion
